	   2.3(3) All eligibility requirements shall have been verified and satisfied in accordance with the NCARB Architectural Experience Program Guidelines, which is available through NCARB’s Web site  www.ncarb.org  or the architectural examining board.
	   2.3(4) Applicants who have passed one or more but not all divisions of the ARE shall have a rolling five-year period to pass each of the remaining divisions. A passing grade for any remaining division shall be valid for five years, after which time the division must be retaken if all remaining divisions have not been passed. The rolling five-year period shall commence on the date when the first division that has been passed is administered.
	   2.3(5) To be eligible for registration, all applicants shall have passed all divisions of the ARE prepared and provided by NCARB, have completed the NCARB Architectural Experience Program, and have attained an NCARB council record. A completed NCARB council record shall be transmitted to and filed in the board office within three months of application. Upon receipt of the council record, the board shall provide the applicant with an application for registration form. The board shall issue a registration number to the applicant upon receipt of the completed application form and appropriate fee.
	   2.3(6) The board may refuse to issue a certificate of registration to any person otherwise qualified upon any of the grounds for which a registration may be revoked or suspended or may otherwise discipline a registrant based upon a suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary action taken by a licensing authority in this or another jurisdiction. For purposes of this subrule, “disciplinary action” includes the voluntary surrender of a registration to resolve a pending disciplinary investigation or proceeding. A certified copy of the record or order of suspension, revocation, voluntary surrender, or other disciplinary action is prima facie evidence of such fact.
